New Patient Registration

If you live within our practice area you are welcome to register with us and our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure. Eligibility can be quickly confirmed from your address so please provide proof by way of a recent utility bill. We also require one form of photo ID

If you don't have a medical card you will need to complete a registration form and a health questionnaire which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor. Both forms can be downloaded from the above "Registering Online" tab.

If you are on any regular medications we will ask you to make an appointment to see the Healthcare Assistant for a patient health check. This is to ensure your medication list is up to date and also to arrange any blood tests or blood pressure checks as necessary.

Once you have been accepted as a patient your medical records will be transferred to us. You do not need to inform your existing practice that you are moving, although it may be courteous to do so. It can take a few weeks for your records to be sent to us.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them. You can download the guide below.

On-line 'Pre-Registration' With The Practice

If you wish to pre-register click on the link below to open the form. When you have completed all of the details, click on the "Send" button to mail your form to us. When you visit the surgery for the first time you will be asked to sign the form to confirm that the details are correct.

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. There is an on-line version of this file too, which you may fill out and send to us. When you come to the surgery you will be asked to sign this form to confirm that the details are correct.

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about your self across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Alternatively you may print off a registration form, fill it out and bring it in with you on your first visit to the practice.

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups. Open the leaflets in one of the following languages

Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

Practice Boundary Map

There is a facility to check your postcode which will tell you if you're within the practice boundary. If you are within the practice boundary and would like to register, please speak to one of our receptionists.

Consent Forms

Patient confidentiality is of paramount importance in the relationship between patients and healthcare professionals.

We cannot disclose personal information to a third party without the patient's explicit consent unless it is of overall benefit to a patient lacking the capacity to consent, required by law, ordered by a court, or justifiable in the public interest.

There may be times when you might want a relative, friend or carer to discuss confidential information with the practice about you, when you are not able to discuss these issues yourself. In these circumstances, we would only be able to have these discussions with a completed permission form.

You can request whether you want just Test results, Prescriptions or Medical conditions only to be discussed.

Please note that it your responsibility to inform the practice if your wishes change.

These forms will be available at reception to complete or else can be downloaded below.

Request for results

Due to changes in the the Access to Health Records Act 1990 and Data Protection Act, we are obliged to obtain written consent as well as check photo identification before releasing any written information to patients.

Please download and complete form below, or else collect one from our Reception desk.
